# Work with your team in a project Slaide Help · Files and export · Last checked: 2026-11-11 · 7 min read URL: https://help.slaide.de/projects-team-workspace Documentation index for agents: https://help.slaide.de/llms.txt > A project is a shared workspace in Slaide. You upload materials once, invite people by email and keep the team's documents in one place. Everyone in the project sees all materials and documents, edits them and starts AI tasks with their own credits. Only the owner invites and removes people. Slaide has no viewer role and no comments. ## What is a project in Slaide? A project is a **team workspace**. It holds the **materials** of your team, which are PDF, Word, PowerPoint and text files, and the **documents** that are built from them. Everyone in the project sees both, edits the documents and starts AI tasks. Every document in the project works with all of its materials, so nobody uploads the same file twice. The person who creates a project is its **owner**. Everyone the owner invites is a **member**. There are only these two roles. > **Limit:** A project is not a team plan: credits, plans and invoices stay with each account, see [Use Slaide with your team](https://help.slaide.de/slaide-for-teams). Slaide has no viewer role and no comments in projects. ## How do I create a project? ### Step 1: Open Projects In the [library](https://app.slaide.de/library), click **Projects**. The page lists every project you own or belong to. ### Step 2: Click New project Click **New project** and enter a name, for example the name of a client or a funding round. ### Step 3: Invite people if you like Under **Invite people (optional)**, enter email addresses separated by commas or spaces. You can also invite people later. ### Step 4: Create the project Click **Create project**. The project opens with its materials on the left and its documents on the right. > **Limit:** You can own up to 100 projects. Your earlier folders appear here as projects and keep their documents. ## How do I add materials and documents? ### Step 1: Open the project Open it from **Projects**. ### Step 2: Add the materials Click **Add**, or drag files onto the list. Slaide reads PDF, Word, PowerPoint and text files. Each material shows how many documents use it, or **not used yet**. ### Step 3: Start a document in the project Write your request in the project's input box. The new document works with all materials from the first task on. ### Step 4: Or move an existing document In the library, open the menu of a document card and choose **Move to project**. From then on the document works with the project's materials. Excel files and images stay with the single document they belong to and are not project materials. To remove a material, click **Remove** next to it. Sources inside documents that point to it then lose their location. > **Limit:** A project holds up to 60 materials and 400 MB in total. ## How do I invite people? ### Step 1: Click Invite Open the project and click **Invite**. Only the owner can invite and remove people. ### Step 2: Enter the email addresses Enter up to 10 addresses per request, separated by commas or spaces, and click **Send invitations**. ### Step 3: The person accepts Each address gets an email with a link. The person signs in or signs up with exactly that address, confirms it if Slaide asks, and clicks **Accept**. If the address already has a Slaide account, the invitation also shows under **Invitations** on the **Projects** page, with **Accept** and **Decline**. ### Step 4: Check the Team list Pending invitations appear as **Invited** with their expiry date. **Withdraw invitation** cancels one. > **Limit:** A project has up to 25 members besides the owner and up to 25 pending invitations. An invitation is valid for 7 days and only for the invited address. Project invitations count toward the same limit of 5 invitation actions in 24 hours as document invitations and invitations to friends. ## How does the team work with the AI? Every member sees all materials and all documents of the project, edits them and starts AI tasks. The AI uses the project's materials in every document, whoever gives the task. - **Rules for the AI:** on the project page, **Set rules** opens a short text of up to 2000 characters, for example an informal tone, the audience or fixed terms. The AI follows it in every document of the project, and everyone on the team can change it. - **One task at a time:** only one AI task runs in a document at once. If you start another while one is running, Slaide asks you to wait a moment. - **Editing together:** several people can edit a document at the same time, as described in [Work on a document together with others](https://help.slaide.de/collaborate-with-others). - **Activity:** the **Activity** list shows who created or deleted a document, moved one in or out, added or removed materials, and who joined or left. - **Documents belong to their creators:** the project owner can delete any document in the project, other members delete their own. > **Note:** In a project, members start AI tasks. People you invite to a single document are editors who change pages by hand, see [Work on a document together with others](https://help.slaide.de/collaborate-with-others). ## Who pays for AI tasks in a project? | What | Depends on | | --- | --- | | Credits for an AI task | The person who starts it. Their own credits are used, not the owner's. | | Page limit of a document | The plan of the person the document belongs to, its creator: 3 pages on Free, 12 on Plus, no plan limit on Pro and Max. | | Free-plan mark on exports | The plan of the person the document belongs to. | | Joining a project | A Slaide account with a confirmed email address. The account's own plan decides how many AI tasks the person can run. | | Shared credits and one invoice | Not part of a project. They belong to a team plan on request. | Editing by hand uses no credits. See [How credits work in Slaide](https://help.slaide.de/how-credits-work). ## How do I leave a project, remove someone or delete it? ### Step 1: Open the project Open it from **Projects**. ### Step 2: Choose the action Members click **Project menu**, then **Leave project**. The owner clicks **Remove** next to a person in the **Team** list, or **Project menu**, then **Delete project**. ### Step 3: Confirm Slaide asks once. Access ends right away. | Action | What happens | | --- | --- | | A member leaves | The member's documents in the project go to the owner. The member loses access. | | The owner removes a member | Same result: the member's documents in the project go to the owner, and access ends immediately. | | The owner deletes the project | All documents stay, in their creators' libraries. The project's materials are deleted. | > **Note:** If the AI is working in a document of the project at that moment, Slaide asks you to try again in a moment. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a project the same as a team plan? No. A project is a shared place for materials and documents. Credits, plans and invoices stay with each account. A team plan with shared credits and one invoice is a separate arrangement, see [Use Slaide with your team](https://help.slaide.de/slaide-for-teams). ### Can someone only read in a project? No. Slaide has no viewer role: everyone in a project is a member who sees everything and can edit. To let people only read a single document, share its public link, see [Share a document: public link, embed, gallery](https://help.slaide.de/share-and-publish). ### Can I leave comments in a project? No. Slaide has no comments. People edit the documents themselves, see who is in a document, and the **Activity** list shows what happened in the project. ### What happened to my folders? Folders are now projects. A folder works as a project for you alone until you invite someone, and the documents in it stay where they were. Deleting a project never deletes the documents in it. ### Who sees my documents in a project? Everyone in the project sees all of its documents, including those other members created. Documents outside the project stay as they were: only you and the people you invited to that single document see them. ### The invitation is invalid or expired. What now? An invitation is valid for 7 days and only for the address it was sent to. Ask the owner to invite you again, and sign in with exactly that address. If Slaide says the project is full, the owner has to make room first. ## Related articles - [Work on a document together with others](https://help.slaide.de/collaborate-with-others.md): Invite people by email to edit a Slaide document with you: what editors can do, who pays for credits, how changes sync and how to remove someone. - [Use Slaide with your team](https://help.slaide.de/slaide-for-teams.md): Choose between document invitations, a team project and a Slaide team inquiry.
